My DH likes cats more than dogs and he is very, very masculine. He used to be a technical mountain climber, was a heavy equipment operator in a foundry, painted factory smokestacks, practiced Kyokushinkai karate and kung fu for years (needs to get back in training a bit), loves all kinds of weaponry and practices them, has a knife fixing/making hobby, has been a contractor all his life....
And likes cats, and doesn’t like dogs much.

I am a dog person so I am biased, I have 4. I don’t hate cats and actually I really like other people’s cats. The whole litter box thing, it makes me want to heave. That and being on top of the countertops and tables just is not for me. I guess I also like predictability, you can get a cat that loves you or can’t be bothered with you....a dog, they love ya no matter what :)
